wtnhighlander Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Looks like the interlocking is good against seperation in either direction, but the 'tails'(?) look so thin that they could easily break. Unless you need glueless assembly, I see no advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardA Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 I'll pass, way to difficult and weak for most domestic woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Is that a standard joint? very cool looking. I imagine it is hard to even figure out where it is sticking in order to clean up and finesse the fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown craftsman Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Reminds me of the twisted Dovetail joint.Saw it in one of David Charlsworths books. Aj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendon_t Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Visually I don't find it very attractive and it looks like it would be super weak. I'll pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post gee-dub Posted December 4, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 People enjoy building ships-in-a-bottle too. Its all good. There are a lot of "Japanese" joints that are fairly involved and more tradition and artistic than an actual structural requirement. Some are also a blend of art and structure. I am glad people pursue it since I really enjoy looking at them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad people pursue it since I really enjoy looking at them. That was how I perceived it. This sort of thing can be very beautiful. I've seen this same sort of joint applied over a much wider board, at which point it would likely have more than enough strength for normal loading.
